You can look at a guy like Matthews though that is a lot closer to McDavid's career earnings because he pushed the envelop as far as how contracts are being done in the league. There is a reason that McDavid changed agents recently, and it's not because his old agent was being promoted by the Oilers.

That's the thing, if he wanted to be a Leaf so bad he would be one by now. If it was all about the money, the Oilers will be ready to back up the brinks truck whereas the Leafs won't be able to afford the max.
I'm just not convinced he's that into becoming a Leaf, unless he has huge regrets about his last 8 seasons?
